Too Many Candles.....

Mild days after a snowy winter coupled with rain, rain and more rain which meant the snow melted too quickly and caused a lot of flooding. The downtown area of the city was flooded on Saturday because the Thames River runs right through the middle of the city. The water was 5.2 m higher than normal – that’s 17 feet higher for you non-metric people! No wonder there was so much flooding. We were perfectly safe though even though we are only a few blocks from the river. There was one bright spot over the weekend - my Snow Drops are blooming. It's a bit early, but they are blooming. Here's a quick photo I snapped of them. I couldn't stay outside long because the rainy weather was playing havoc with my brain disorders and I didn't want to make them even more painful.

 Today’s card is another one made with the Art Impression stamp of the old couple with a birthday cake.

        Love this stamp and so glad I bought it. It was coloured with pencils and blended with gamsol. All the paper is from the stash. I used the orange cardstock die cut with the Spellbinder Scalloped square punch because I had coloured her shirt orange. I know must card makers pick the paper and then colour but I don't do ‘most’ most of the time. I sit and colour all the images while I’m watching hockey on television and then I make cards later on. The sentiment is from a HOTP stamp set – and oldie but one I used all the time. It is on a pair of QuicKutz die cut tags.

        That’s all for a nicer day with no rain or snow on Monday, February 26, 2018. I’ll be back on Wednesday with another card.

Cheers
